Did You Know? Davis arrived in the major leagues full-time with the Giants in 1982, immediately weaponizing a compact, natural swing from both sides of the plate. He put together a spectacular debut season campaign, batting .261 with 19 home runs, 27 doubles, and 24 stolen bases, establishing himself as an incredibly rare power-speed threat in Candlestick Park.
By 1984, he had fully refined his approach to earn his first career All-Star selection. He hit a blistering .315 with 21 home runs and 81 RBIs that season, using his exceptional rotational power to clear the fences while providing premium defense in right field with an absolute cannon of a throwing arm.
